The Samsung ML-1710 is a compact monochrome laser printer designed for both home and small office environments, delivering reliable performance and high-quality prints. Launched as part of Samsung's innovative ML series, this printer boasts a range of features that cater to the needs of users seeking efficiency and convenience.

One of the primary characteristics of the ML-1710 is its impressive print speed. It can produce up to 20 pages per minute, allowing users to handle large print jobs without long wait times. This quick output is complemented by a first-page-out time of just 8.5 seconds, making it an ideal choice for users who require quick access to printed materials.

The printer utilizes Samsung's advanced printing technology, which includes a 600 x 600 dpi resolution that ensures sharp text and clear images.
